Selinsgrove Seals boys basketball takes down Holy Redeemer 61-45 in home opener
Selinsgrove brought the energy, the dunks, and the student-section chaos to tip off the season the right way. After Holy Redeemer’s quick punch, the Seals answered with a Mac DeFazio spark and not one but two slams from Xaivier Jackson sending the gym into orbit. Behind Jackson’s 21 and a whole squad chipping in, Selinsgrove strutted out with a 61-45 home-opener win and a whole lot of energy to build on.

Sportzwire’s Athlete of the Week: Southern Lehigh’s Multi-Sport Standout, Sean Steckert
Southern Lehigh’s Sean Steckert isn’t just putting up numbers, he’s rewriting what it means to be a three-sport powerhouse in the Lehigh Valley. The senior star has bulldozed his way past 2,900 total yards, captained on the wrestling mat, sprinted his way to states on the track, and still finds time to serve communities from Pennsylvania to Jamaica. With a 3.9 GPA, a humble heart, and a motor that doesn’t quit, Steckert has become the pulse of the Spartans’ historic rise. Now, with the school’s first-ever State Championship game on deck, one of the Valley’s toughest athletes is writing a legacy in real time and everyone is watching.
